Grant Mission

Good morning everyone! We have had an amazing week! Koryn got baptized and confirmed on Saturday! She moved to this area when I did and she moved from Elder Thompsons area! So, Elder Thompson and I got to have a couple lessons with her and got to relive the MTC days!  Her baptism was amazing and we had a blast there. The spirit was there and you could see the effect it had on those attending.  My companions and I got to be the chili cook-off judges and the dessert judges at a ward party! The crazy thing is, the Polk family from Arkansas we are teaching, entered the cook-off and had the best chili! It was amazing! She had jalapeños and mushrooms and beef. All the good stuff! We also got to take home a big bag full of candy and haven't even made a dent in it.  It has been an amazing week full of blessings and miracles! It did snow which wasn't fun but other than that it was amazing! Have a great week! Grant Williams Photos: The Halloween party! Koryn's baptism! Me and ...

The people we found a week ago still love church! The members are really taking them in under their wings and making sure they are loved! It is amazing to see! In that same ward, we got to give 5 minute talks each. But we learned about it 2 hours before the ward started at noon. So we are sitting in the pew and I'm looking through Gospel Library to find something to talk on. I went last which was good so I could find something. The thing was, everything I was going to choose, the spirit just said no to it! I was getting a little confused as I passed scriptures that have changed my life and made me better but the spirit kept saying no. Eventually I thought what if I wing it. And the spirit didn't say no. Now it got a lot scarier. My two companions gave their talks and I walked up to do mine. I just bore my testimony. That's all I could think of. It went great because we were close to the end and I had less than 5 minutes to fill.  It wasn't anything crazy but it helped m...

Good morning everyone! Sorry for not sending an email these last 2 weeks!  I finished my time in Afton last Friday! I got moved all the way to a town barely outside Pocatello named Chubbuck! I'm in a trio with Elder Larson (from Hurricane, Utah) and Elder Welch (from Arkansas)! Elder Welch and I can't drive so we both have to let Elder Larson do all the driving. Being in a trio is interesting. It makes the work more fun and helps with keeping conversations going!  This week we had an amazing miracle! It was on Saturday when we went to some referrals the bishop of 1st ward gave us. It was in some apartments that Elder Welch had helped move a lady into a few weeks before. She was also from Arkansas so we went over to check up on her and she is super open! Her name is Averona and she has 4 kids! The oldest is 11, the next is 10, then comes the 5 year old, and the little 1 year old. This family is amazing! We gave them a couple copies of the Book of Mormon and invited them to read...
